@lightweight @Adam Note how it's called "open" and not "libre".

Typically the bootloader used by router's is u-boot, although many manufacturers do not follow u-boot's license.

All 802.11ac and 802.11ax Wi-Fi cards to not operate without proprietary software loaded onto them.

I use a freedom-respecting 802.11n card myself.


The "Open"WRT package repos appears to contain many proprietary programs.

Finally, "Open"WRT always uses the proprietary version of Linux and not Linux-libre.
